To always think "Oh fuck, what have I done now?"

[WorraLiberty]

When I look at the top of the page and my inbox has a little glowing envelope?

I only ever really PM 2 people (who I knew before joining MN) and I've only ever had nice PMs from other posters.

So why when I see it light up, do I always get that funny little feeling?

You know like when the phone rings after 9pm or there's a knock at the door at an odd time of the day/night?

Am I alone in this?

[MadgeHarvey]

No






It's like being at school and just waiting for that call to the Head's office. You know it's coming, you just don't know when!

[SecretNutellaFix]

I get that feeling when my manager says "I just need to ask you something"

[WorraLiberty]

That's the one Madge

[SparklyGothKat]

I get it when my fb inbox flashes 'one new message'

[WorraLiberty]

Or a text from an unknown number

God we must all have guilty consciences

[Yama]

I feel like that when dh uses my firstname.

[wannabedomesticgoddess]

I get this when the door knocks unexpectedly. and sometimes I hide and pretend Im not in

But apart from that not really. I must be a goody two shoes.

[Yama]

As a teenager I used to imagine my parents being told what I had got up to when out. I used to approach home with a mixture of dread and excuses.

Yes, guilty consciences abound.

[WorraLiberty]

Oh God Yama I can identify with all of that...even the first name thing!

[WhereMyMilk]

Tee hee! :o

[AlwaysReadyForABlether]

We have caller display on the phones at work and there is a group of people I have regular contact with. But if I get a call from an unknown name or number it does always make me feel a bit guilty - without even knowing what it's about.

[steppemum]

umm, I have just realised that there is a message icon at the top of the page next to inbox (note to self, look at other parts of site other than active....)

[WorraLiberty]

Milk

[WorraLiberty]

steppemum I think I've just broken your inbox virginity

Was it good for you?

[EugenesAxe]

Maybe... I am usually excited that ANYONE would have the time for me.

SecretNutellaFix - you are so right back when I had a manager. For me though it would be 'Can I have a quick chat with you ?' whilst gesturing to a meeting room - ie. out of the open plan because it's unprofessional to bollock you within 'the space'.

[cogitosum]

I' never get pms

[WhereMyMilk]

Worra :o

[WorraLiberty]

cogito don't say that in front of Milk or she'll jump up in your inbox and scare the crap out of you

I've been forced to open a bottle of wine to get over the shock....

[McHappyPants2012]

I have has a few, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy

[BigFatLegsInWoolyTIghts]

I do too but I had a nice one last night after I'd had a big tanty on a silly thread. So tis not all doom!

[WorraLiberty]

I've had some lovely PMs from people I've never really spoken to or don't recognise.

[KenLeeeeeee]

I've never had PM

[Softlysoftly]

Just clicked my inbox

No one loves me :(

I get excited with fb messages/post/ managers requests to "have a word"

Am angelic obviously, and nothing to do with an overinflated ego thinking I can do no wrong, oh no not me

[sagelynodding]

I do too, despite never really going off on one on a thread :)
Exactly the same feeling as 'Can I have a word at school' or 'I need to talk to you about something' at work

[numbum]

Nobody loves me either softly which surprises me because I can be a bitch
